We went to Pskov and had a great experience. Had to wait the 10 days but there were a lot of interesting things to do. We pretty much walked the entire city of Pskov while we were there. Not much English was spoken but we got along great by pointing to things we wanted to eat, drink, etc.
Our little boy was 15 months old when we came home. He was VERY healthy and well-cared for. (We've been home 6 months.) Had to take a 12 hour train ride but it was very pleasant. You travel at night from Moscow to Pskov and from Pskov back to Moscow. We slept very well on the trains and so did Alex coming back. So, don't let a train-ride scare you away!
Things are not always up to American standards; however, it was a great learning experience and we wouldn't trade it for the world....maybe we could do without the bedbugs at the hotel we stayed at....but we think that was kind of an isolated experience. It was all SO worth it! NO REGRETS!
Thanks,
Rex & Jocelyn
